Applications of Queuing Theory and Simulation to Staffing in the Semiconductor Clean Room Environment

摘要

Adequate staffing of operators and maintenance crews tornbottleneck and non bottleneck areas, is crucial to the overallrnproductivity of semiconductor manufacturers.rnThe use of advanced Queuing Theory and simulation modelsrnis highly cost-effective because it reduces human-relatedrninefficiencies within the operation and maintenance ofrnfab/test equipment.rnTwo user-friendly packages were developed and successfullyrnapplied in over 30 different fab areas and test facilities.
